“Talia, are you sure about this?” Talia, who was now clad in a black backless dress paired with beige-colored combat boots, looked back and met Alpha Liam’s gaze beneath his gold-rimmed glasses. She shrugged and combed her hair. “I owe this to Diana.” “There are six of us who are your mates. Isn’t it enough for us to join this war when we could have turned a blind eye to this?” Just like always, among the six alphas, Liam was the one who had the shrewdest mindset. “What you owe to them is none of my business. But my life… my rules. My debt, my rules. I hope we made that clear, Alpha Liam.” A glint of defiance flickered beneath her gaze as she met his eyes head-on. After all, as their mate, she had the privilege of talking back at the six alphas of Night Prowlers Pack without the fear of being beheaded. Alpha Liam grinned. In a blink of an eye, he had closed the distance between him and Talia. With his arms trapping her escape routes, Talia found herself in between Liam’s muscled
“Alexander,” greeted Soleyah to the man who was only clad in his shorts. It took her a few seconds to peel her gaze from his broad chest. She looked straight into his eyes, thoroughly reminding herself that she was no longer his ‘little sister’. She was his equal—an alpha female by birthright. “Soleyah.” Alexander’s deep voice that called his name made Soleyah focus her gaze on his sensual lips. She could not help but remember those nights when she screamed in pleasure from those lips of his. Shaking her head, she cleared her throat and asked. “What’s the matter? Are you going to stop me again?” “Will you even listen if I do?” Helplessness flashed beneath his crimson eyes as he stared at her. “I am here to ask you one more time, will you come with me? The Werewolf Committee is not your main concern. I can help you rebuild your strength as an alpha in your pack.” Soleyah sneered. Gone was the desire in her heart, replaced with disappointment and anger. “You are wasting your time.
Soleyah did not wait for the others to ask her. She immediately jogged toward the place where she could feel the throb within the mate bond she had with Alexander Crimson. Needing not a guide, Soleyah was able to arrive at the borders they had dashed past through earlier when they entered the Crescent Pack.As soon as she saw him, she immediately scanned his surroundings.Unlike her small group, Alexander, who was an alpha to the Crimson Moon Pack who was second to Blood Claws Pack when it came to having strong wolves and second to Night Prowlers Pack when it came to having a close off environment, stood before a hundred of strong wolves with no less than a delta in their ranks.His tattoos were clearly displayed for all to see. Suddenly, Soleyah had the instinctual urge to cover him up in front of the female deltas of the Crescent Pack.‘What the heck am I thinking?’ Soleyah was stupefied with her train of thoughts as she shook it off immediately while nearing her mate. Instead, she
Skinned alive.The traitor among the ranks of the Crescent Pack was once a good friend of Diana’s father. His betrayal hit Mason yet he was still the one who sentenced his former comrade to such degrading and painful death. Such decisiveness was something that Diana took from her father.Diana did not meddle with the punishment even when the Blood Claws Pack had a much more cruel method to deal with the traitor. She owed this to her father after she pushed him to be the temporary alpha of such a big pack.‘Shananel that bitch is really cunning, but I expect this much from her. If she still remained unmoved right now, I will be sorely disappointed.’ Diana pondered.Diana stood in an inconspicuous part of the camp as they waited for the Crescent Pack to settle the traitor before they would launch the attack aimed at the Werewolf Committee. She turned around and walked to the border nearest to the Werewolf Committee.Standing there, amid the darkness and stillness of the forest, Diana co
Sally was originally just a name for Diana who was a mere pawn in her chess game called revenge. Because of this mindset, Diana did not bother to put Sally’s misdeeds in her eyes when she first arrived in the Blood Claws Pack. Over time, Sally became someone she treated as one of her people. Remembering Sally’s resolute pair of eyes as she muttered the word ‘Luna’ filled with devotion, Diana knew that Sally was already one of the few people she wanted to protect in this wretched world. Yet Shananel dared to stretch her claws to her pack… to her people. Recalling the warring times of her past life, when the Blood Claws Pack’s rallied to surround the Werewolf Committee, it seemed as if Sally was the one who played the role of Seymor Tesan in this lifetime! Diana knew that Shananel would make a sneaky attack and it would result in the first death among the Blood Claws Pack’s ranks—Beta Seymor Tesan’s death. Hence, Diana chose to take all the hink-ranking wolves to the rally, leaving o
Amid the replanning inside the lavish tent, Diana, was standing around the round table where a circular hunter skin man was laid. Diana’s cold gaze swept around the alphas around her and moved the rook to the castle, moving the two chess pieces together. “When that happens, this is the perfect time to take their—ugh!” “!!!” Everyone had a bewildered look before it switched to fear for Diana before it reverted to worry for what happened. As blood oozed in between her fingers while she covered her mouth, Diana continued to cough as if she was coughing her lungs out. Her vision flashed from white to black. Before long, Diana immediately tapped her mind link with her mate, hoping to ease the barrage of what-ifs in her mind while not minding the whiplash of questions aimed at her. Diana stepped backward. She was still in a daze, a telltale sign that she was communicating with someone with the use of the mind link. With this in thought, the alphas dispersed aside from Alpha Mason and his
Sally died.The pain she felt was enough confirmation for Diana, but she refused to acknowledge it. Only when two wolves howled in anguish while surrounding a burnt corpse rescued by Dylan did Diana finally accept the staggering truth. Only when she saw the drone’s live footage did she let reality play back after pausing it at the back of her mind a couple of minutes ago.There was no more denying it or it would only be disrespectful for Sally’s last moments.This time, Diana slumped back to her chair.Talia nodded at Soleyah, conveying to the latter to shut off the live footage. With Talia and Soleyah—magic and technology—the drone came back in no time.“Are you alright?” With a wave of Talia’s hand, a cup of water that could ease Diana’s fatigue appeared out of thin air. She placed the cup in front of Diana and picked up the laptop of Soleyah before she gave it to the latter. “Have some drink. You need to stay sane. Death is normal in war. It could be me the next day, it could be th
Diana and the group did not have to wait for too long. Forty-five minutes later, a portal appeared outside the main tent and Talia with her two mates came out from it with a cloaked person in tow.With the large cloak covering the visitor, the onlookers did not recognize the uninvited visitor.The delta-ranked wolves surrounded the newly arrived group, their eyes filled with vigilance and hostility. They were in the middle of a war; the blood of the omegas that was shed from the quick attack was the telltale sign that the war was reaching its peak already.A visitor from the direction where their enemy was located? That person was not welcomed especially for the wolves of the Blood Claws Pack.As soon as Talia and the two alphas went to stand side by side with Diana and the group, the cloaked person was left at the center of the encirclement. The uninvited guest stood calmly while being surrounded by an oppressive air filled with killing intent.As soon as the gentle breeze from the n
